The old guy (Tony) made the fans look stupid. Have a debate, agree or disagree, but don't become a bully.

The guy in the Joe Linton shirt was so arrogant and it’s genuinely sad how disrespectful young people are now. He had no argument, just insults. The elderly man said it best “I don’t have a fragile ego like you”.

The kids with the blonde in the away top is a total helmet trying to square up to an old bloke.

Fantastic to see that horrible kid getting schooled by the bloke. Fragile ego indeed!

Who came after our match with Paris 😂? Yes, our club is great Newcastle forever Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🤍🖤🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦

That lad in the Joelinton away kit needs a smack, immature and disrespectful

That arse who thinks he’s Anthony Gordon is everything wrong with our fanbase, which has dramatically changed for the worse since the takeover

Some of those interactions, especially with the younger ones are just CRINGE. Agree with them or not, let people protest and don't take the piss.

Don't agree with the protests, but christ, Anthony Gordon's doppleganger is an absolute melt, was hard to listen to the levels of cringe.

I really don't think this Anthony Gordon wannabe should be getting any more screen time, than he already has. I'm not taking any sides in the matter, but when you want to argue with a protester, I'm pretty sure you want to argue on the matter, and not get into a insult match... He's made an absolute fool of himself here, trying to look big in front of literal children

Stark difference between the lad in the Joelinton shirt and the group of lads actually listening to the old boy.

Young people are so disrespectful their parents should be dissapointed

The old guy has a point tbf.

THIS is sportwashing in action, fair play to that man he schooled those brainwashed clowns.

Well done to those protesters. Can't be easy protesting against your own club but they are standing up for their beliefs and they deserve respect. Plus they are right.

The football and politics needs to be two seperate entities with our club/supporters. Everyone has their own views on the human rights issues not just in Saudi Arabia but lots of places in the world however, our supporters are not disrespecting anyone by purely being grateful for someone taking over our club and getting MA out. This is not just huge for our club it is great for the regeneration of our city. No hate intended its just my opinion.

Fair play to the old bloke, he’s spot on. It’s depressing seeing all these people who are just proving that sportswashing works thinking they have some “gotcha!” Moment bringing up the UK government like it has any relevance to the point he’s making, when did the UK government start buying football clubs to cleanse their image and distract from their human rights abuses?

Whataboutery in these arguments is pointless. UK does not own a FC

The older guy made some valid points & thought he came across really well. The ‘fans’ on this video struggled to contribute to the debate & were disrespectful at times. The club need to embrace democracy & free speech regardless of ownership.

I pity this old man. Did he really need the money that much to accept this part-time job and come and tell lies

That first guy didn’t even realise how stupid the old fella made him look 😂

I am not sure why non-Saudi are trying to claim they know about us, about our culture, religion, life, etc? I am a Saudi women. I am perfectly happy and proud to be Saudi and will never ever chose another nationality. The gov, is doing a lot for the people. SA has no single homeless person on the street. We take healthcare and education seriously. This is why both are 100% free for all Saudi. There are hundreds of programs that Saudi ppl can benefit from to help them own their homes, increase their income, and support a happy and healthy life. We have no taxes on water/elec, no taxes on income. The country itself is mind blowing with loads of tourists places and modern architecture. Women are independent and SA is one of the fewest countries with equal income for men/women. I lived in the UK for the last 8 years because I was a student (with all of my tuitions fees/ husband tuition fees/ visas expenses/ monthly salaries/ healthcare expenses, all fully taken care of by my government) and I would honestly say the quality of life is far superior in SA than here in the UK. Buttom line is, we are happy people with a gov. that is looking after its ppl. And with the vision of 2030 Saudi Arabia will soon become one of the most powerful countries in the world. I guess this is the reason why we have so many haters. 😅 and people please 🎉before saying silly things like sport washing, perhaps find a cure for ur media brain wash. Everything u know about SA has come from the western media that brained wash u for years. Don’t be please, come to the country, meet the ppl and see for ur self. The truth will send u free.

6:45 "Are you a follower of the wahabi sec of islam" Thats the moment in the video where you know this old dude has no idea what hes talking about

From a german point of view, it is insane how uncritical the english fans are with the owners of their clubs. Football is for the fans, not for the rich.

The protesters are absolutely right in what they say, but i think it's too late to save the soul of the game at the top level. I'm a Man Utd fan and we're facing either a takeover from an oppressive government, a takeover from the owner of the biggest polluter in this country or we have to stay on with the Glazer family. There is no happy ending there. To the people saying politics has no place in football, it's always been a part of football, just not to the level it is today. I never expected 35 years ago to have to be an expert in geopolitics, financial planning and the laws regarding abuse and consent when I first started supporting United, but here we are. As for some of the Newcastle fans in this video, it's embarrassing. Not many of them made any actual points beyond "look at the UK government". Yes our government has been disgraceful for years, decades or centuries even, and should always be held to account for the problems they have created. But they're not going round buying sports teams, leagues or players in order to clean their reputation in the eyes of the world and the supporters who are arguing against the protesters are proving their point. The aim of buying a club with the passionate support Newcastle have, who dealt with a terrible owner for years, is to immediately get a group of mouth pieces on board that will defend them because they got rid of Ashley. Same thing will happen with my club if Qatar get rid of the Glazers

Sunderland fan here mate and I’m only 19 and that lad in the Joelinton shirt completely has no maturity, he couldn’t have a civil argument, sad to see how my generation is so fucked and disrespectful, no matter who you support respect is always crucial to everyone

Embarrassing. The Saudis picked the most intellectually challenged fan to brainwash to great effect.

The fans arguing against the old fella really showed themselves up, very embarrassing . The cognitive dissonance on displace was really apparent.

7:20 Murder is a punishment is beheading if the family of the murdered person does not forgive him in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦❤️🇬🇧

Jesus that "anthony gordon" is unbearable

Today I am ashamed to be a Newcastle United fan. It’s so sad to see the manner in which many of these kids conducted themselves. Just like everyone watching this video and posting in the comments section, I love this club and desperately want us to see us enjoy some success. But it is important to channel that love and passion in the right way and not by disrespecting and insulting people who you disagree with. However the ultimate tragedy here for me personally as a NUFC fan is not the oppression and cruelty of the Saudi regime, but the silence over that by the majority of the Toon army.

Well done to the protesters. The counter arguments here were very, very poor.

Mental that 6 protestors can get The Guardian The Mirror Channel 4 iNews The Chronicle The independent among others all biting for headlines

Saudi Arabian guy yelling at him for not criticising UK, while everyone else yells at him for doing exactly that, ha. Maybe let him talk?

Talk about proving their point, this is embarrassing.

Some of those kids kind of make the club look bad. They haven’t got a clue about the subject, too young, too disrespectful to have a grown up debate. Yeah there are concerns about the Saudi links, but it if you’re going around saying “but we’re rich” then you’re just giving other clubs ammo to mock us.

Know what, controversial but I respect the man for standing up for humanity over football because it very much so is an obvious issue with our owners because this stuff is still happening fairly recently. These youngins are just taking the piss out of him because they know it’ll never affect them and they’re in a safe country. The guy is right, the Saudi government are corrupt, killing people and bending rules to allow that. But, a lot of people will say “keep politics out of football” when it’s in fact a very political thing these days and it’s past the point of no return and it kind of has to be addressed eventually. Edit: and it’s a bit shite because this old guy has lots of valid points. But our fans only counter points are “keep politics out of football” “this is football not politics” “UK government is just as bad” and the youngins are literally just using internet learned comebacks such as “when. When did I ask?” And “shhhhh” with his finger on his lips and it makes us look absolutely fucking stupid to be honest, the fact nobody has a true response to what he’s going on about.

Newcastle fans here are a joke. I’m sure there’s a good amount of them that oppose SA owning them. The way I see it, they are in a difficult position. They only want success for their team, but football is much bigger than a game. It’s about social issues. If my team Liverpool were owned by SA I wouldn’t be arsed supporting them. Newcastle are different to Liverpool as they haven’t had success so can’t blame them for having blinkered views, especially the younger kids.

The clown in the Joelinton shirt 😂

All we want to see is football. There are worse countries in the world, we are funding a war in Ukraine at present. We should be helping our homeless, go and protest that not football.

Cheers for the shout out mate - much appreciated and great video as always!

Big up Adam 👍 Some interesting debates there

wow the little kid with the saudi arabia flag is the saddest thing ive seen in a while, great parents man..

Sad evidence that Sports Washing does work & works big time! It’s why Saudi,Qatar & other corrupt entities are so desperate to own football clubs! Also, the response of “what about what’s going on in the UK” shows pure ignorance of what’s happening elsewhere & how lucky we are

I'm from Saudi he talk about the point that we live a horrible life But he didn't even see what he was talking about we live an amazing life we don't want you to speak for us An I bet you 1m$ that the homeless people in all of Saudi Arabia are equal to 10% of the homeless in London alone and you are talking about human rights we live in one of the most peaceful countries in the world alhamudllah for everything alhamudllah that we live in this amazing country alhamudllah that we have an amazing leadership In conclusion we don't you to talk for us focus on your own problem the UK is in one the most corrupt countries in the world but you have the media to cover it up

Thank you Adam for showing this. This may help fans understand a little more about what is going on. You can still be a fan of Newcastle United and be conflicted about the ownership at the same time.

Good vid Adam. You can see both sides of the argument tbh.

They have they're views I have mine but there is something in me that is uncomfortable with arguing in the street with an old man. Just walk passed and don't engage with them

I don’t agree with the group completely for a start PIF have their fingers in absolutely everything and many have unknowingly benefited from their investments in their everyday life, including myself (who they’ve invested money heavily in my employer), so to have an issue over a sporting group of athletes that just kick a ball about over the billions that are going into other organisations in this country, seem more like selective outrage But many of these people arguing back are making really weak and unintelligible responses back to the old guy and as a result making the counter argument look pretty stupid and ill-informed. Not a fan of the kids whipping out phones to film and mock an old man either. People label the ownership of the club as Sportswashing and call it what you want it probably is an aspect that they do want to improve their image and own a potentially prestigious brand but the other factors in this is that if PIF were to back out of investments in Newcastle United, all it means is they would probably go all in on the Saudi Pro League, which people label also as Sportswashing. The thing that perhaps we need to see on a wider lens is that maybe Saudi Arabia wanting to project themselves differently and to integrate with prestigious European competitions and clubs is the first step on a path that could lead them to improve their human rights. Surely it’s better that their investments are out in the open and well publicised to be under scrutiny rather than the hidden investments in almost every business we interact with in our daily lives completely oblivious that they are supported by Saudi money

Omg what gos on in other countries happens we shouldn’t be trying to tell anyone how to govern their country when when we can’t even sort or own country out. Perhaps that old guy should protest outside parliament about what is happening in this country ie cost of living migration ulez the list goes on get a feking grip

Comedy 🎭 gold this video 😂 best laugh I’ve had in a while Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 United 😂😂 I’m Antony Gordon chanting me name 😂😂

The first guy in the baseball cap.....happy to be able to complain about UK government but doesn't realise the irony that he couldn't do that in all the other countries he named

Don’t understand people who compare the UK and Saudi Arabia. Name a football club owned by the UK government? The club is ours and we should be disgusted by the people who run it.

Just a muslim club by Sunderland

Anyway what was the score who won the game which was probably more interesting

Saudi blood money 💰

The Gordon kid wants plastering across social media, imagine going on like that. “They’re chanting my name” no pal, they aren’t.

Do you think the UK committed war crimes? -Yes You’re blind and brainwashed. Lmao what???

Kids smerking and taking the piss wouldn't last 10 seconds in Saudi, so blind

0:05 the kid in the Saudi Arabia flag goes to my school and I’ve known since I was 5 years old, it’s so cool to see him in this video

I think you were fair with John, Adam. However, whatever John's intentions he is right about 5he Saudi regime.

As a newcastle fan I completely agree with Tony. These kids are scum and deluded. They will never understand

Hey mate been watching u from the start. Living in Australia as a Geordie u are my number one you tuber. Thanks for making me feel apart of the toon from abroad. You’ve come along way keep up the good work

let compare what UK and France and alot of country of Europe of what saudi arabia do , its not comparable UK and France has the worst human right ever not because there Citizens but because Their leadership , UK has good & wholesome people

Makes me embarrassed of the fans, I go to the games, I have a season ticket. It doesn’t change the fact that they are right to protest. It’s sports-washing plain and simple. The only reason I still watch Newcastle is because it’s happened everywhere now. We aren’t the first ones. It still doesn’t change the fact it’s wrong. All the mugs having a problem with protests are idiots. The poor guy is just getting berated by a bunch of chavs

Such a depressing video

Keep out of the politics Adam, you are playing into their hands giving them airtime, it's got nothing to do with the fans, they just want good football, you will loose respect and subscribers, the UK is linked in a lot of ways with the Saudis, in nearly everything we use on a day to day basis, which you don't know about. It's about it being Newcastle United, that's all about attracting the national press, make it more difficult for the Club, don't be surprised if you get rejected in the future of upcoming events hospitality, it will be your own fault.

What does this old man want with the Newcastle fans? Perhaps he would have received a great insult for his old age’s loyalty. This old man was chosen by some organizations so that he would not be beaten. Thank you, Newcastle fans, for ignoring this old man.

Are they going to protest against all the other clubs like LFC , who have made a fortune selling players to Saudi ! 🤔🤔

Remember they're not protesting against nufc just like anti ashley protests weren't either.

I also find it quite bizarre that the old chap in discussion with "JOE LINTON" TOP is talking to the kids who probably don't have a clue about the Saudi regime.

It's cack, these people are little different to the 'just stop oil' rubbish. So my question is has this human rights stuff just started since we were taken over? This bloke seems against anything - his point mix valid but stop prodding people who can't do anything.

Proof that sportswashing works

I wonder how many of these fans would have been against Saudi ownership before it happened. And how much they've lost sense of their principles thanks to money. Even if they support what Newcastle is doing, they should still treat fellow fans with respect so that was a bit shocking to see how they turn on their own. You're all part of the same club.

6:51 What did the boy say here?

Fans waving Saudi fans are cringe AF.

My support is for NUFC fans, hope you guys win epl one day, i dont care about the protest,just be a good man in real life ,usa did crazy stuff at others countries,uk was a complice,just be a good person,if they care so much i invite these protesters to give money to charity for yemeni,local mosque has box for it.

NUFC is a great Club with some intelligent supporters. It is perfectly reasonable to love your club and be critical of its mendacious ownership.

never believed anyone has the right to choose how another country is run, we tried this with iraq and have left it in such a bad way run by terrorists

The Fans is Fans.. they just love the club.. The old man has nothing to support the club, what's problem..

My opinion is that he must be a Banker. He’s protesting the wrong people n making a spectacle of himself because if he protested the right people (politicians etc) he would find himself on the back foot as in particular he deflects questions posed to him with other statements about other countries and issues Banker 🤷‍♂️

Fair play to the protests they are standing up for their morals and i ain't saying Newcastle fans haven't got any. I was conflicted when fans went to Saudi Arabia for the clubs friendly with a Saudi club as would gay fans be allowed to visit considering it is an offence to be homosexual ?

In 1983 I completed Matric in South Africa. Shortly after my final exams, I got a "job". Most of the white people I worked with were of English origin. I was treated worse than thrash by the "Pommies" and I hated them for this. However, I'm a Newcastle United supporter because this is sport and NOT politics!!!

Interesting debates for sure good job Adam

I don’t know why those ppl want to protest about Saudi country and they don’t live there . Unless they have no job or someone is paying them ,the Saudies never protest about UK or other countries.

That group maybe just want Mike Ashley back

What did people expect from kids with haircuts like that 🤣 you think their parents have remotely invested in their education?

What a bunch of misguided tests see the young kids need a bit of education being anti Saudi is not being anti Newcastle

Agree with the fans. But need to start defending your country

Every one has a right to protest. These were peaceful protests, and they have every right to do it. Debates are good as long as it does not go overboard. All the Newcastle fans with half a brain know the guy is right in most of the things he says, but what we going to do? it is what it is, and what it is is above our heads. Let the government know its unacceptable, and they can change the law to prevent states from taking over clubs. Everything else is above the supporters head, we can do nothing.

NUFC isn't owned by the Saudi govt, it's a sports club not a human rights violator, no need to be outside bumping their gums about something that has nothing to do with the toon

I know you are just documenting what you witnessed. But this is a dangerous topic for your channel to explore if you want to continue to work with the club..unless you can present an informed and balanced conversation. Kids will be kids but that behaviour is an embarrassment to the club and fanbase, and disrespectful to that old man, and long term supporter. I personally don't think you should have published this particular footage out of respect for him (unless he expressly desired for you to do so) and the potential inference that your channel is taking sides with the kids by giving them your platform, if you follow

Some of them Newcastle fans are absolute freaks

The old Guy was bang on in fairness.

He has points but we don’t engage in other ppls beliefs and these type of ppl try to embed their beliefs in you… it’s not right wouldn’t want some grown man coming and telling ur kids what and what not to believe in 😢

comparisons are not an excuse

He's a tired old man trying to be relevant. Sadly he's directing his barbs at the wrong people. He's sadly a poor example

Yes he has a point but that's they law every country has there own law,like we have our own law we are not all the same so stop protesting go to Saudi if you have a problem,but there can't do it in our country because they will be arrested

I think it's entirely possible to love mehrdad and amanda and what they've done for the club, and still also want to put pressure on the saudi's to clean up their act. Our fans made the argument when we got bought like "isn't it better to work with the saudi's and collaborate to stop them invading neighbouring countries and have conversations to influence their government towards a more democratic society". Now though it seems any fan who wants to try to put that pressure on, or open the conversation, gets treated like absolute sh*te. Not everything's black & white ...except on the pitch ;) hwtl

what about what uk did in india,pakistan etc they are so hypocrite🇸🇦❤newcastle
